Family Fun, Vegas Style!
Like every family we have our rituals. The summer is no exception. Just about every 4th of July we go to Sin City for fun and fireworks. That’s right. Las Vegas, Baby! We’ve been going since the kids were in preschool. Now I know, Las Vegas might be the last place you’d think to take […]

The Best Guacamole Recipe
If I could eat guacamole everyday, I would. In fact, I’ve been known to dream about it. Here is my absolutely most favorite guacamole recipe. It comes from a charming seaside restaurant in Punta Mita, Mexico, where they prepare it right at your table while you drool. For the best flavor and visual effects, use […]
No One Puts Baby in a Corner…Well, Yeah, Actually They Do
My Dad had an interesting way of handling things. When my siblings and I would be screaming, fighting, and crying with no end in sight, he would call a cease-fire and ask us what happened. Of course, we each had our own version of the truth. And as you would expect, we blamed each other. […]
